  As an Accounting Analysis Manager, you will…
  • Manage and/or facilitate ICOFR program, with an emphasis on continuous improvement to program and process.
  • Work with the business to assess key process design end-to-end (both financial and operational), with a focus on whether management has identified and implemented controls around key risks and provide guidance to strengthen internal controls and efficiency.
  • Continuously develop and maintain an in-depth understanding of Starbucks' business, organizational structure, business processes, policies and procedures, and apply that knowledge in support of identifying risks and improving internal controls.
  • Establish relationships with Starbucks personnel at appropriate levels in order to become a valuable partner and resource, serve as an internal consultant and provide coaching and guidance.
  • Liaise with management, internal audit, and external audit on the coordination of SOX testing, monitor progress and assist with issue resolution.
  • Provide support to team in analyzing separation of duties risks within key systems, and ensuring such risks are effectively mitigated.
  • Oversee annual risk assessment and scoping process.
  • Stay current on best practices in the field and make recommendations for improvements.
  • Manage and/or facilitate control rationalization and documentation.
  • Assist in the continuous enhancement and delivery of an internal controls training program.

• About the company

  Starbucks has an unusually human approach to business. We always figured that putting people before products just made good common sense. Our relationships with farmers yield the highest quality coffees. The connections we make in communities create a loyal following. Our ability to accomplish what we set out to do is based primarily on the people we hire - we call each other "partners." We are always focused on our people. Our story began in 1971. Back then we were a roaster and retailer of whole bean and ground coffee, tea and spices with a single store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Today, we are privileged to connect with millions of customers every day with exceptional products and more than 17,000 retail stores in over 55 countries.
